My name is CANNONBALL and I'm as scurvy as they come. I sail the seven galaxies in search of booty and treasure... yeah, you heard me. But, when I'm not looting and pillaging, I like to relax by surfing the spacenet for images of Transmetal 2 Blackarachnia with the removable torso plate and answering your questions via email. If you have any questions you'd like answered then by all means

! Just don't tell The Allspark I'm stealing their bandwidth for my own ego and your amusement. June 28, 2009. Cycle 37, Megacycle 118, Decacycle 238 (still a Sunday by both Cybertronian and Earth reckonin', oddly 'nough)
Got s'more questions from ye puny Terrans, and I've come out of hidin' (donnae ask from where!) te answer 'em! Thanks to akatsukikid1305 (why cannae these Humans go by more normal names like Terrorstrike or Flamestalkerimus Prime?):
- 1: How did you earn your name "Cannonball"?
Thas' a story for th' ages, lad. It may surprise ye t'learn, but Cannonball is not my true designation (and Primezooks, I en't tellin' ye THA' bit o' information!). Nae, yours truly is actually th' TENTH mech t'bear the name Cannonball, and ye'd be surprised how many sheets on the multiversal stack the name's been passed through! Aye, Cannonball the First was a bit player in what ye may remember as the "Hearts Of Steel" universe, where Cybertronians had a hand in the history of Earth long before the adventures in the Primax-84-normal universe that you fleshlings saw on your primitive television boxes those 25 Earth years ago. Ach, indeed-- Cannonball the First appeared on Earth during its 18th century, and saw kindred spirits in characters like William Teach and Ann Bonny. With his textform communiques of mark in hand, he took on the form of the most fear-inspiring pirate vessels ever to sail the Terran seas, and with that, the name Cannonball! - 2: What kind of model is your ship?
It depends on which part of the multiverse ye catch me in, of course! When I visit the Aurex Cluster, I have an old compatriot named Tidal Wave who ferries me 'round the stars in his very own alt-form! I'm also known to ride around in the burnt out and refitted hulk of the intergalactic monstrosity known as Devil-Z! Occasionally, a right blighter of a mech called Astrotrain does me shippin' and receivin' while I keep to my devices on Cybertron. Most o' the time, ye can catch me on my rig, the Star Arrow. - 3: Got any turbo-lasers on it? Rail Cannons?
Lad, that would be tellin'!
- 4: If 'ya got any energrog, would'ja spare some 'ta let me have a taste? Mebbe we could have a bit of fun later...
Nae. Seriously, lad, the way I became Cannonball the Tenth was thus: Overloaded on energrog, Cannonball the Ninth lay passed out in his stateroom. I have a modular laser cannon for me left hand. Ye do the math. I keep dry, lad.
